Trusts Fundraising Strategy Manager

4 weeks ago


Merseyside, United Kingdom CHARITY PEOPLE Full time

Are you ready to leverage your expertise in Trusts fundraising to make a meaningful impact through music?

As the Trusts and Foundations Fundraising Manager at a prominent cultural institution in Liverpool, your role will be pivotal in generating funds to sustain a prestigious orchestra, venue, and choir. You will also play a crucial part in empowering youth through musical initiatives and supporting a vibrant cultural agenda that spans genres from rock to folk, jazz, film, comedy, and spoken word.

Your fundraising efforts will directly contribute to transformative musical programs, collaborating closely with healthcare trusts and primary care providers to enhance the mental and physical well-being of community participants.

Compensation: £35,000
Work Arrangement: Hybrid model, combining Liverpool office days with remote work (1-2 days in the office weekly)
Work Hours: 35 hours FTE, with options for full-time or part-time
Perks: 26 days of annual leave, pension plan, complimentary event tickets, health cash plan, travel and parking discounts, and service recognition awards.
Work Environment: Family-friendly culture that is supportive and empowering, designed to help you flourish.

Role Overview
As an essential member of the Development team, you will play a key role in securing vital funding for the organization’s innovative Music and Health projects, including the acclaimed 'In Harmony' music education initiative, which serves nearly 1,800 young individuals across the Merseyside area.

This position offers a diverse array of opportunities for funders to engage, making it an exciting chance to be creative with a varied funding portfolio. The income from trusts and foundations is currently robust (approximately £800k), and there are established relationships to build upon. Your focus will be on maximizing these opportunities and exploring new partnerships to introduce funders to the organization’s impactful work.

Key Consideration: Collaborating closely with the artistic team, what innovative funding avenues could be pursued if you can collectively illustrate the transformative effects on young people or those facing mental health challenges?

Candidate Profile
While an extensive knowledge of classical music is not a prerequisite, a genuine appreciation for the transformative power of music and a willingness to learn more is essential.

To be considered for this dynamic role, we would like to see evidence of the following skills, experience, and attributes:

  • A proven track record in securing funding from trusts and foundations.
  • Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, with a knack for crafting persuasive proposals.
  • Strong organizational abilities, with meticulous attention to detail.
  • Experience in budget creation, financial reporting, and data analysis.
  • Self-driven, capable of working independently while managing multiple priorities.
  • A collaborative team player with an inclusive and welcoming interpersonal style.

If this opportunity resonates with you, we encourage you to present your profile or CV as the initial step.

Application Process: As this position has been previously advertised, applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.

Charity People is committed to promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion. We align charity needs with the skills and experiences of candidates, regardless of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender or gender identity, marital status, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We believe that greater diversity leads to enhanced outcomes for the charities we serve.
